Recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) injections combined with Anastrozole are increasingly used to treat adolescent idiopathic short stature (ISS), warranting further research. This study evaluated their effects on height, growth rate and adverse reactions in 72 adolescents with ISS treated at our hospital from December 2021 to December 2022. Patients were divided into a control group (rhGH alone) and a study group (rhGH + Anastrozole).

An integrated framework to guide evidence-informed public health policymaking.

J Public Health Policy

Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia.

Evidence-informed policymaking emphasizes that policy decisions should be informed by the best available evidence from research and follow a systematic and transparent approach. For public health policymaking we can learn from existing practices of transparent, evidence-informed decision-making for clinical practice, medicines, and medical technology. We review existing evidence-to-decision frameworks, as well as frameworks and theories for policymaking to address the political dimension of policymaking, and use this analysis to propose an integrated framework to guide evidence-informed policymaking.

In recent years, machine learning has gained substantial attention for its ability to predict complex chemical and biological properties, including those of pharmaceutical compounds. This study proposes a machine learning-based quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model for predicting the physicochemical properties of anti-arrhythmia drugs using topological descriptors. Anti-arrhythmic drug development is challenging due to the complex relationship between chemical structure and drug efficacy.

Pseudomonas putida degraded 35 % of compounds in alkali-pretreated lignin liquor under nitrogen-replete conditions but with low polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) production, while limiting nitrogen supplement improved PHA content (PHA/dry cell weight) to 43 % at the expense of decreased lignin degradation of 22 %. Increase of initial cell biomass (0.1--1.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of Polar Organic Chemical Integrative Samplers (POCIS) as a more effective method for monitoring pharmaceutical residues in wastewater compared to traditional grab sampling.
  • POCIS allows for continuous sampling over days or weeks, providing more representative data, though challenges remain in obtaining precise quantitative results due to calibration needs.
  • The research successfully identifies and calibrates sampling rates for 49 pharmaceuticals in a wastewater treatment plant near Barcelona, yielding high concentrations of specific compounds, thus establishing a methodology for better environmental monitoring of pharmaceuticals.
